+Three years later, in July 2005, FIGlet 2.2.2 was released under a new License
+(the ``Academic Free License 2.1''). This version has proved to be very
+stable, and persisted for more five years until minor bugfixes and another
+license change resulted in the release of FIGlet 2.2.3 in January 2011. All
+license concerns involving contributed code were solved and FIGlet is now
